Facts
What our families don't realize or see is that we carry such a heavy invisible load... It's not just the physical side of motherhood that wears us out; the mental side can be so heavy and overwhelming. So, yes, when one of our kids leaves a pile of crumbs on the counter after we just cleaned the kitchen, it can feel like a big deal. It can trigger us. It can feel, to us, like we're being disrespected and that our efforts are unnoticed, ignored, or worse, expected. It might seem like we're overreacting... after all, it's just a cup left in the sink or a few crumbs on the counter. But it goes so much deeper than that. 🩷chaos
